I’ve been a fan of hose. tights for several years now, but I think their offerings this season are especially sophisticated. Hosiery can be a harder sell during warmer seasons, especially as the bare legged trend seems to show no signs of letting up. Instead of switching to socks and marketing them with heels, hose. has smartly stayed with their signature products: affordable tights with simple designs screenprinted by hand. Three designs are offered on multiple candy colored backgrounds, making the whole line feel sugary sweet yet sophisticated.

hose. tights always look expensive, but come in at $33.50 a pair – they’re great for budget minded customers who want their tights to last for awhile. Each pair is screenprinted by hand rather than by machine on 40 denier tights, making them pretty and sturdy.

This season’s motifs include raspberries, cacti and cockatoos. I love the unusual inspirations in this line (not a floral pattern in sight, thank goodness) and how it feel so vibrant and summery.

Would you wear tights in the spring and summer? What do you think of the new line from hose. tights? Which pair is your favorite?
